Jeremiah 48:31-36

31Therefore I will 1wail for Moab, Even for all Moab will I cry out; 2I will moan for the men of 3Kir-heres.32More than the 4weeping for 5Jazer I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah! Your tendrils stretched across the sea, They reached to the sea of Jazer; Upon your summer fruits and your grape harvest The destroyer has fallen.33So 6gladness and joy are taken away From the fruitful field, even from the land of Moab. And I have made the wine to 7cease from the wine presses; No one will tread them with shouting, The shouting will not be shouts of joy. 34 8From the outcry at Heshbon even to 9Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have 10raised their voice, from 11Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim will become desolate. 35I will make an end of Moab,” declares the Lord, “the one who offers sacrifice on the 12high place and the one who 13 14burns incense to his gods.

36“Therefore My 15heart 16wails for Moab like flutes; My heart also 17wails like flutes for the men of Kir-heres. Therefore they have 18lost the abundance it produced.
